Getting Started With Sprint PCS Service
Determining if Your Phone is Already Activated
If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store, it is probably
activated, unlocked, and ready to use. If you received your
phone in the mail, it probably has been activated; all you need
to do is unlock it.
If your phone is not activated, please refer to the Activation
Guide brochure included with your phone.
Unlocking Your Phone
To unlock your phone, follow these easy steps:
1. Press and hold E to turn the phone on.
2. Press Unlock (left softkey).
Note: To select a softkey, press the softkey button directly below the softkey
text that appears at the bottom left and bottom right of your phone’s
display screen. Softkey actions change according to the screen you’re
viewing and will not appear if there is no corresponding action available.
3. Enter your four-digit lock code. (For security purposes,
the code is not visible as you type.)
Tip: If you can’t recall your lock code, try using the last four digits of
either your Social Security number or Sprint PCS Phone number or try 0000
or NATL (6285). If none of these work, call Sprint Customer Service at: 1-888211-4PCS (4727).

Setting Up Your Voicemail
All unanswered calls to your Sprint PCS Phone are
automatically transferred to your voicemail, even if your
phone is in use or turned off. Therefore, you will want to set
up your voicemail and personal greeting as soon as your
Sprint PCS Phone is activated.
To set up your voicemail:
1. Press and hold 1.
2. Follow the system prompts to:
Create your pass code
Record your name announcement
Record your greeting
Choose whether or not to activate One-Touch
Message Access (a feature that lets you access
messages simply by pressing and holding 1,
bypassing the need for you to enter your pass code)
Note: If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your voicemail
account, Sprint recommends you enable your voicemail pass code.
For more information about using your voicemail, see “Using
Voicemail”on page 214.

standby mode.
In Power Save mode, your phone searches for a signal
periodically without your intervention. You can also initiate a

Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your Sprint PCS Phone is equipped with a Lithium Ion (LiIon)
battery. It allows you to recharge your battery before it is fully
drained. The battery provides up to 5.5 hours of continuous
digital talk time (up to 3 hours in analog).
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately 5 minutes of talk time
left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then powers
down.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode, and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
Tip: Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and charge the
battery before it runs out of power.
Installing the Battery
To install the LiIon battery:
1. Place the battery into the
space beneath the

your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s charge is important. If your
battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically
turns off and you will lose all the information you were
currently working on. For a quick check of your phone’s
battery level, glance at the battery charge indicator located in
the upper-right corner of your phone’s display screen. If the
battery charge is getting too low, the battery icon
appears and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Sprint-approved desktop charger, travel charger,
or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Warning: Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage to your
phone and void the warranty.

TTY Use With Sprint PCS Service
A TTY (also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a
telecommunication device that allows people who are
deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language
disabilities, to communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with variety of TTY devices. Please
check with the manufacturer of your TTY device to ensure that
it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY
device will connect via a special cable that plugs into your
phone’s headset jack. If this cable is not provided with your
TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase
the connector cable.
When establishing your Sprint PCS Service, please call Sprint
Customer Service via the state Telecommunications Relay
Service (TRS) by first dialing 711T. Then
provide the state TRS with this number: 866-727-4889.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: 911 Emergency Calling
Sprint recommends thatTTY users make emergency calls by other means,
including Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and
landline communications. Wireless TTY calls to 911 may be corrupted when
received by public safety answering points (PSAPs) rendering some
communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related
to TTY equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought
to the attention of the FCC, and the wireless industry and PSAP community
are currently working to resolve this.

Controlling Your Roaming Experience
In This Section
Understanding Roaming
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Using Call Guard
Roaming
Roaming is the ability to make or receive calls when you’re off
the nationwide Sprint PCS network.Your new RL-4930 by
Sanyo works anywhere on the nationwide Sprint PCS
network and allows you to roam on other analog and 1900
and 800 MHz digital networks where we’ve implemented
roaming agreements with other carriers.
This section explains how roaming works as well as special
features that let you manage your roaming experience.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
103
Understanding Roaming
Recognizing the Roaming Icon on the Display Screen
Your phone’s display screen always lets you know when you’re
off the nationwide Sprint PCS network. Any time you are
roaming, the phone displays the roaming icon ( ). If you are
roaming on a digital system, the roaming icon will display
along with the text Digital Roam, and on an analog system,
with the text Analog Roam.
Tip: Remember, when you are using your phone off the nationwide
Sprint PCS network, always dial numbers using 11 digits (1 + area code +
number).
Note: Unless your Sprint PCS Service Plan includes roaming, you will pay a
higher per-minute rate for roaming calls.
Roaming on Other Digital Networks
When you’re roaming on digital networks, your call quality
and security will be similar to the quality you receive when
making calls on the nationwide Sprint PCS network. However,
you may not be able to access certain features, such as
Sprint PCS Vision.
Note: Sprint PCS Ready Link Service is not available in roaming areas.
Note: If you’re on a call when you leave the nationwide Sprint PCS network
and enter an area where roaming is available (whether digital or analog),
your call is dropped. If your call is dropped in an area where you think
Sprint PCS Service is available, turn your phone off and on again to reconnect
to the nationwide Sprint PCS network.
104
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Roaming on Analog Networks
When you roam on analog networks, you will experience a
similar quality provided by other analog carriers today.
Although some features, such as Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS
Ready Link, and Sprint PCS Voice Command, may be
unavailable, you can still make and receive calls and access
voicemail. If you are accustomed to Sprint PCS Service, you may
notice some of the following differences when using analog
service:
You are more likely to experience static, cross-talk,
fade-out, and dropped calls.
Some features which are standard on the enhanced
nationwide Sprint PCS network, such as call waiting,
Sprint PCS Vision, Sprint PCS Ready Link and direct
international dialing, may not be available.
Though callers can leave voicemail messages while you
are roaming, you may not receive notification until you
return to the nationwide Sprint PCS network. (See
“Checking for Voicemail Messages While Roaming”on the
next page.)
There are security and privacy risks (eavesdropping and
cloning) that exist with conventional analog services today.
Your battery’s charge will deplete more quickly and you
will need to recharge it more often when you use your
phone for analog roaming.
Note: When using your phone in analog mode, the phone may feel warm.
This is normal for analog operation.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
105
Roaming
Checking for Voicemail MessagesWhile Roaming
When you are roaming off the nationwide Sprint PCS
network, you may not receive on-phone notification of new
voicemail messages. Callers can still leave messages, but you
will need to periodically check your voicemail for new
messages if you are in a roaming service area for an extended
period of time.
To check your voicemail while roaming:
1. Dial 1+area code+your Sprint PCS Phone number.
2. When you hear your voicemail greeting, press *.
3. Enter your pass code at the prompt and follow the voice
prompts.
When you return to the nationwide Sprint PCS network,
voicemail notification will resume as normal.
106
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
Setting Your Phone’s Roam Mode
Your Sprint PCS Phone allows you to control your roaming
capabilities. By using the Roaming menu option, you can
determine which signals your phone accepts.
Set Mode
Choose from three different settings on your dual- band/ trimode phone to control your roaming experience.

2. Select Settings and press M.
3. Select Roaming and press M.
4. Select Set Mode and press M.
5. Select an option from the following and press M.
Roaming
Sprint Only allows you to access the nationwide
Sprint PCS network only and prevents roaming on
other networks.
Automatic seeks Sprint PCS Service. When Sprint PCS
Service is unavailable, the phone searches for an
alternate system.
Roaming Only seeks roaming service only (either
analog or digital). The previous setting (Sprint Only
or Automatic) is restored the next time the phone is
turned on.
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
107
Using Call Guard
Your phone has two ways of alerting you when you are
roaming off the nationwide Sprint PCS network: the onscreen
roaming icon and Call Guard. Call Guard makes it easy to
manage your roaming charges by requiring an extra step
before you can place or answer a roaming call or access data
services while roaming. (This additional step is not required
when you make or receive calls while on the nationwide Sprint
PCS network.)
To turn Call Guard on or off:
1. Press M to access the main menu.
2. Select Settings and press M.
3. Select Roaming and press M.
4. Select Call Guard and press M.
5. Select On or Off and press M.
108
Section 2D: Controlling Your Roaming Experience
To place roaming calls with Call Guard on:
1. From standby mode, dial 1 + area code + the seven-digit
number. (You can also initiate a call from the Contacts
directory, Call History, or Messaging.)
2. Press T or S (or press Options [right softkey]
and highlight Call or Call:Speaker On and press M).
3. Press 1 to proceed while the pop-up message is
displayed.
- or Press any key to erase the pop-up message, press
Options (right softkey), highlight Roam Call, or

- or -
1. Press T or S.
2. Press 1 to proceed while the pop-up message is

Caring for the Battery
Acknowledging Special Precautions and the FCC Notice
Owner’s Record
Phone Guide Proprietary Notice
Part of getting the most out of your Sprint PCS Phone is
learning how the phone works and how to care for it.This
section outlines performance and safety guidelines that
help you understand the basic features of your phone’s
operation.
Section 4A: Safety
269
Getting the Most Out of Your Reception
Keeping Tabs on Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive depends on the signal strength
in your area. Your phone informs you of the current signal strength by
displaying a number of bars next to the signal strength icon. The more bars
displayed, the stronger the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a
window may give you better reception.
Understanding the Power Save Feature
If your phone is unable to find a signal after 15 minutes of searching, a
Power Save feature is automatically activated. If your phone is active, it
periodically rechecks service availability; you can also check it yourself by
pressing any key. Anytime the Power Save feature is activated, a message is
displayed on the screen. When a signal is found, your phone returns to
standby mode.
Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and receiver. When it’s turned
on, it receives and transmits radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level. This
power can range from 0.01µ watts to 0.2 watts in digital mode.
Knowing Radio Frequency Safety
The design of your Sprint PCS Phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s
1982 standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from
universities, government health agencies and industries developed this
updated standard after reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted this updated
standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
270
Section 4A: Safety
Maintaining Your Phone’s Peak Performance
Hold the phone with the antenna raised, fully-extended, and over your
shoulder.
Try not to hold, bend, or twist the phone’s antenna.
Don’t use the phone if the antenna is damaged.
Speak directly into the mouthpiece.
Avoid exposing your phone and accessories to rain or liquid spills. If
your phone does get wet, immediately turn the power off and remove
the battery.
Note: For the best care of your phone, only Sprint authorized personnel should service
your phone and accessories. Faulty service may void the warranty.
Section 4A: Safety
271
Safety
There are several simple guidelines to operating your phone properly and
maintaining safe, satisfactory service.
Maintaining Safe Use of and Access to
Your Phone
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY AND POSSIBLE PROPERTY DAMAGE
Using Your Phone While Driving
Talking on your phone while driving (or operating the phone without a
hands-free device) is prohibited in some jurisdictions. Laws vary as to
specific restrictions. Remember that safety always comes first.
Tip: Purchase an optional hands-free accessory at your local Sprint Store, or call the
Sprint PCS Accessory Hotline at 1-800-974-2221 or by dialing # 2 2
SM
2 on your Sprint PCS Phone.
Following Safety Guidelines
To operate your phone safely and efficiently, always follow any special
regulations in a given area. Turn your phone off in areas where use is
forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
Using Your Phone Near Other Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radiofrequency (RF)
signals. However, RF signals from wireless phones may affect inadequately
shielded electronic equipment.
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic operating systems and/or entertainment systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or their representative to determine
if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF signals. Also
check with the manufacturer regarding any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids, to determine if they are adequately shielded
from external RF signals.
Note: Always turn off the phone in health care facilities and request permission before
using the phone near medical equipment.
272
Section 4A: Safety
Turning Off Your Phone Before Flying
Turning Off Your Phone in Dangerous Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a
blasting area or in other areas with signs indicating two-way radios should
be turned off. Construction crews often use remote-control RF devices to
set off explosives.
Turn your phone off when you’re in any area that has a potentially explosive
atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your phone and accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include:
Fueling areas such as gas stations.
Below deck on boats.
Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust,
or metal powders.
Any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
Note: Never transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in the compartment
of your vehicle that contains your phone or accessories.
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they could
hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that increase
your Sprint PCS Invoice.
Section 4A: Safety
273
Safety
Turn off your phone before boarding any aircraft. To prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) regulations require you to have permission from a crew member to
use your phone while the plane is on the ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while the plane is
in the air.
Caring for the Battery
ProtectingYour Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These
chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries
or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that
range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity
areas, such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long
period of time.
It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of
time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint
authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
274
Section 4A: Safety
Safety
Acknowledging Special Precautions and
the FCC Notice
FCC Notice
This phone may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to
receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the phone if
such interference cannot be eliminated.
Vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (propane or butane) must comply
with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this
standard, contact the National Fire Protections Association, One
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn.: Publication Sales Division.
Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in this
document could void your warranty for this equipment and void your
authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage
or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment and
can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you wear a
handset on your body, use the Sprint supplied or approved carrying case,
holster or other body-worn accessory. If you do not use a body-worn
accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.9 centimeters from your body
when transmitting. Use of non-Sprint approved accessories may violate
FCC RF exposure guidelines.
For more information about RF exposure, visit the FCC Website at
www.fcc.gov.
Section 4A: Safety
275
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy
absorbed in the head of a user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring
and calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone
emits. All phone models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory
settings. But when in operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is because of a variety of factors
including its proximity to a base station antenna, phone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each phone meets strict
federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a
substantial margin of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values
between different model phones do not mean variations in safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg are considered safe for
use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the RL-4930 are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.01 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.516 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 0.374 W/kg; Body-worn: 1.15 W/kg
FCC Radiofrequency Emission
This phone meets the FCC Radiofrequency Emission Guidelines.
FCC ID number: AEZSCP-4930. More information on the phone’s SAR can be
found from the following FCC Website: http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid.
